A fine coach but he will not have the same talent level at GP.  Just another Country school like the rest of us.

GP used to have some country boys that could play and as big as round bales!A new coach may liven up that area!I know a lot of kids won't at for Benny this may just change that.

I figured he'd be with Dresden another year after not leaving immediately after the title

[osunut2]

Wow. I figured he'd want to get back to East TN at some point, but I wasn't expecting it to be at G-P. Great hire.

WELCOME Coach Rang, Watched 40 yrs of Bennys 45. We got talent walking the halls but I agree with what everyone has said. Making playoffs will be next too impossible now but gotta keep my chin up

[BarneySox2007]

I think some big schools like Oak Ridge and Kingsport D-B made big mistakes by not putting some old worn out horses to pasture and hired this man to turn their programs around. I agree with some that G-P just won't have the horses Rang is used to dealing with.

Been calling this move for three years. Coach Rang brought a championship to Dresden and also let the dust settle on his east TN mishap at Powell. I wish him the best and hope Dresden can land a decent coach. To be honest I'm betting the powers that be don't look for a decent coach cause winning football takes away for the other sport they really like. But I'm a arse so what do I know. lol
